# Why is result of ST_Area or ST_Distance in SRID 4326 so small

there is one thing I do not understand when using the following Query in geometries which are all SRID 4326.

WITH s AS (SELECT * FROM de_sim_points_start WHERE id = 6545)
SELECT e.*, ST_Distance(e.geom, s.geom, true) as distance FROM de_sim_points_end AS e, s
WHERE ST_DWithin(e.geom, s.geom, 10000)
AND e.parent_geometry = s.parent_geometry
ORDER BY distance


Result looks like

ID;parent_geometry;geom;distance

As far as I understand, distance results in SRID 4326 are in meters (I'm totally fine with that). So how can a point be just centimetres away from each other, when in reality they are serval meters away from each other? Image below uses point with id 14033 (orange)

EDIT: New Query with accepted answer looks like this and performs as expected

WITH s AS (SELECT * FROM de_sim_points_start WHERE id = 6545)
SELECT e.*, ST_Distance(e.geom::geography, s.geom::geography) as distance FROM de_sim_points_end AS e, s
WHERE ST_DWithin(e.geom::geography, s.geom::geography, 10000)
AND e.parent_geometry = s.parent_geometry
AND ST_Distance(e.geom::geography, s.geom::geography) > 2000
ORDER BY RANDOM()
LIMIT 1
